Which Double Tandem Pushchair is Best For Your Family?
There are a variety of products that can make the life of parents with twins or two children simpler. The double tandem pushchair is just one of them.
From Phil & Teds, to Baby Jogger, most brands offer a double stroller in their range of products. They can come as side-by-side or convertible models inline.
Stability
If you have twins or children who are close in age, a double tandem pushchair makes traveling with two children much more enjoyable and comfortable. But, with numerous styles and configurations out there it is difficult to determine which one is suitable for your family. Some are better for running than others, or can fit a third seat when you add a buggy board. Which ones are the most solid?
The CYBEX Gazelle is a fantastic option for transporting children the same age. They aren't easy to maneuver through narrow doorways or aisles of shopping. In this instance, you might be best using a model that is stadium-style, like the Bugaboo Donkey or Mountain Buggy Duet that allow children to face either one or the other based on the configuration.
Tandem models that place one behind the other are more manageable than side-by-side pushchairs. However, they're not as sturdy as single strollers or car seats. They can be difficult to lift up curbs and they might have less storage space than a side by side pushchair.
It is recommended to test the double with both seats seated, since that's how you'll be using it most. Test the ease with which it is for you to steer and navigate the vehicle, particularly in tight turns or with the front wheels that rotate. You should also test the brakes, as they may be difficult to use if the child and infant seats are installed.
If you're looking for a high-quality, affordable double stroller that does it all you need, then look no further than the Phil & Teds Sport Double. This sleek and compact stroller can be converted from a single model to a tandem in just two easy steps. The seat and carrycot both recline and can be used with the parent facing or facing each other, and the air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension make it suitable for tackling a range of terrains. It comes with a handy underseat storage basket, but access to it is restricted when the second seat is placed.
Comfort
There's a double stroller that is suitable for any family, regardless of whether you have twins, a toddler or a newborn. They can be used to transport two kids in tandem, but some can be converted to one pushchair (though this usually requires the removal of one seat). They tend to be wider than a single buggy but they do offer flexibility and value for price.
In our recent double pushchair reviews, we asked testers to score each model based on a variety of factors, including ride comfort, handling ease and how well it folded. They also assessed the ease of putting in and taking out the car seat, and whether or not it could be used along with baby carriers.
The Stroller & Co City Tour 2 double buggy from birth is a fantastic example of a comfortable, flexible and light dual stroller. Our reviewers praised the generous UPF 50+ canopy, which provides real shade and includes an opening window for peekaboos, and both seats recline into multiple positions with just the press of a button. One seat can be set to lay flat so babies can sleep in the carrycot above it.
The reversible seat lining made of bamboo, which naturally antibacterial on one side, and soft Jersey on the other side is an excellent feature. The possibility of being folded in one hand is an excellent feature, particularly when you're looking after two little ones.
They're more expensive, but they can provide greater flexibility due to their ability to fit through narrow aisles and doors. They aren't easy to navigate up kerbs and heavy to push, however, they come with a front-loaded load that helps to balance the weight.
Flexibility
A double tandem pushchair can be a great addition to any family, whether you have twins or a newborn. It can keep your children happy by stopping them from arguing or waking one other up. This type of buggy is ideal if you're planning to take it on public transport, as it can be easier to fit into the space available.
Some models provide an extreme degree of flexibility, including the ability to switch back to single mode when your baby is ready to use strollers, without having to purchase a new one. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 stokke Double stroller, for instance can accommodate two infant car seats as well as a riding board in the back which makes it perfect for three kids. It can be used with the stroller and a roll-away case for parents. This allows you to travel light, while still having everything your family requires.
The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite is an entirely different type of double stroller than the rest, yet it has the same features that you'll find in our top picks. We like how it folds with the use of a hand and can easily slide through doors, and the basket under the carriage is taller to make it easier to store your shopping in. The back seat is covered to keep your youngster warm during winter.
A tandem is smaller than a side-by-side, making it difficult to navigate narrow aisles in stores or busy footpaths. It is easier to maneuver on rocky terrain than a standard double pushchair. Some of these pushchairs could be difficult to steer in tight turns, particularly when your child is heavier in the front seat.
A double pushchair is the best option for families with multiple children. It can usually be used as a twin pram when your children are younger, but can also convert into a tandem once they're older. Some models, like the iCandy Peach 3+ can accommodate two iSize car seats. This allows you to have the most flexibility and value.
Storage
The main drawback of a double-buggy can be that it takes up more room on public transport, and is difficult to maneuver through narrow doorways or lifts. They are also more expensive and are more expensive for side-by-side models, especially those that have a second seat up in the front.
Some models can be converted from single pushchair to tandem - such as the Joolz Geo and the Uppababy Vista V2. This is a great option if you're planning to have another baby in the near future. It also extends the life span of your buggy. However, it can be difficult to convert it to a single buggy when your older child has outgrown it.
Stadium Duo is the perfect dual stroller for urban adventures. It's light and compact. It features a one-click one-hand fold, automatic storage lock and is compatible with two SnugEssentials infant car seats or SnugRide SnugSize infant car seat* for a hassle-free transition. The raised seating style gives both kids a great view of the world, and you can easily connect your infant car seat to the rear or front of the stroller with just a single click. You can also pack all the essentials for your day out in the large shopping basket and tray for parents. The suspension and swivel wheel provide a smooth ride and ensure more maneuverability. The 5-point safety belts on both seats also increase the safety of your child.
